Worry that the popular Netflix series "13 Reasons Why" dangerously mischaracterizes teen suicide has led at least two New Jersey school districts to send warning letters to parents.

Released on March 31, "13 Reasons Why," which is based on a popular young adult novel, tells the story of a high school girl who commits suicide and leaves behind cassette tapes that contain her reasoning.

In the letter sent to parents by Montclair Public Schools on Monday, district mental health coordinator Andrew Evangelista warns parents of the series' graphic content and expresses concerns over how the subject's suicide is portrayed.

"The show fails to identify mental health issues as well as resources available to teens and makes the viewers think that suicide is only an external event when in reality bullying, excessive drinking/drug use, failure to identify mental issues and internal factors all contribute to the result of one looking to end their life," Evangelista writes in the Montclair letter.

Evangelista said he became alarmed while watching the show and wanted to prepare teachers, counselors and parents for any potential fallout as more and more students watched it.

"I could see kids that are vulnerable taking it the wrong way," Evangelista said. "I think the bottom line here is to provide resources."

Evangelista said that he doesn't want to dissuade people from watching the show -- he just thinks that it would benefit from a kind of trigger warning or advisory label.

Evangelista said he expects school districts across the state to send out similar letters in the coming days, as conversation about "13 Reasons Why" grows. Although Netflix does not realize viewership data for its show, The Hollywood Reporter reported this week that the show is about to be renewed for a second season.

"This is something that's controversial, its provocative," Evangelista said. "It's going to stimulate kids to talk and parents should be aware of it."
